Green Eggs and Sand: Green Eggs and Sand is a Tri-State Horseshoe Crab/Shorebird Education Program. The curriculum, designed for middle and high schools students, was developed by coastal managers and teachers from Maryland, New Jersey, and Delaware. Teacher workshops are held on the spawning of the horseshoe crab, the interrelationships with other species and how management decisions are made.

Raising Horseshoe Crabs: The Raising Horseshoe Crab program will continue in a maintenance-only program for the foreseeable future. Teachers currently participating may continue to receive horseshoe crab eggs each June.
